As much as I love the club and I am a supporter of 50+ years. I still don’t understand where any of us I support is have a right to criticise some genuinely experienced and knowledgeable businessman now on the club and have also been successful in other sporting areas. We seem to be reading even on this blog major criticism of the people they have appointed without any real knowledge of the job they’re doing, how successful they are or are not making snap decisions. The only thing we should be doing as a supporting group is getting behind everyone, and I mean everyone that CFC and excepting that we are going to have to go through bad times before they become good again. Let’s not forget, Liverpool went a significant period without winning the league , Man United are 10+ years in the doldrums, Arsenal are only just emerging from the post arson Vigar years. Other clubs, Tottenham, for example, have never had the opportunities as success we’ve had. Let’s not be greedy, let’s be patient and let people own the club do their job. Yes, they will make mistakes and I have every belief they will rectify them . Who they have and have not appointed does not take into account that they other people also have a say in the matter and perhaps they just don’t want to come to Chelsea at the current time.

good points but we really need to call out the owners alot more. They are the ones who started this ruin by thinking they are smart, hired the wrong people and implemented the wrong strategy. They are PE vultures ... nothing more. They are not Harding, Bates or Roman who cared about the club.

Will Eghbali put his ego aside and give authority to a DoF to sign off on all footballing decisions? Someone who is more qualified then him to make the footballing decisions. Will they cut the crap with this collaborative approach so that they dont have to poke their noses in each and every footballing matter? Will they give authority to the manager and DoF to punish any players (who are their precious assets) when they are not in line? Will Eggbali appoint a winner in the dug out who might be more demanding?

About time you also call them out!
